In the movie volcano basaltic lava flows are shown running down flat streets at speeds faster than humans could run. from your knowledge of magma viscosity, is this realistic?

Yes, depending on the type of magma. There are many types of magma and the viscosity of each is very different due to the heat and thickness of each.
